53. Touching being – with Bruce Fertman

Senior Alexander Technique teacher Bruce Fertman joins Mark to discuss what the AT is and what the point is, his early days in gymnastics with Dan Millman, how AT lessons work, the root of tension, inhibition, personal somatic responsibility, being and doing, “end-gaining”, mindfulness, the cross cultural body (he’s an American in Japan), how we have many bodies, the “cosmetic body”, embodied ethics, a deeper look at touch (his specialism) and gratitude. A wise man who’s touched a lot of people.
